The spine is difficult to treat. On the one hand it is exposed to high mechanical loads, on the other hand it has great mobility.

The treatment of the spine (e.g. herniated disc, facet syndrome, foramen stenosis, etc.) therefore requires a lot of experience.

Holistic treatment

The approach of this form of therapy consists in the holistic treatment. Osteopathy looks at that human body as a unitin which all components of our body are connected in some way. Any change in any part of the body has Effects on other parts of the body. So an osteopath becomes the cause of the discomfort look in completely different parts of the body when these occur and cause discomfort. The treatment does not take place automatically at the location of the complaint.
In osteopathy, for example, diseases of liver, Gallbladder and stomach With Head- and Neck pain connected. Treating these problems can therefore bring relief. Another example is one Disorder in the muscles in the leg. Changes in muscle tension caused by injuries there can also extend the disturbed muscle trains to the neck area and cause the complaints there. For the patient too unimportant eventssuch as previous operations, falls and inconspicuous injuries in everyday life can provide important information for the osteopath.

procedure

The process of a osteopathic treatment begins with an in-depth investigation. Here, too, the osteopath only uses his hands and relies on his sense of touch.

Besides the Assessment of general posture and in the cervical spine syndrome, especially of the head, neck and shoulder areas, movements are also checked. With these given movement sequences, the osteopath can draw conclusions about tense muscle groups or movement blocks.
Osteopathy assumes that these disorders are the inhibit natural processes in the body and the body die Self-healing powers cannot use it sufficiently.

Through the holistic approach of osteopathy, the rest of the spine is also affected as well shoulder and Sternum included in the diagnosis. Everyone whirl is checked individually for blockages and muscle tension. Therapy only begins after this complete examination has been completed most restricted vertebrae first. Typically, a blockage is resolved in several stages with repeated movements. After the treatment of bone changes, the surrounding structures such as ligaments or muscles and internal organs are also included in the therapy. In this way, each vertebral body and its surrounding structures are treated individually.

Duration

The duration of a therapy is very different. Days to years are possible. The large time intervals between two treatments are also important. In osteopathy, an effective phase for the body of approx. 1-3 weeks must be observed.
